The OPSI annual meeting debated PJM’s recent capacity market filing and whether the RTO needs to consider changes to its energy and reserve markets.  

In keeping with its winter estimates from previous years, MISO said it could run into trouble in January should it experience high load or high outages.

PJM reported that synchronized reserve resource operators have reported several reasons for shortfalls in their response rates,  including operating under a ruleset FERC rejected last year.

ERCOT surprised market participants with an announcement that it plans to increase operating reserves by requesting an additional 3,000 MW of capacity to shore up the grid for the upcoming winter.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed issue charges, opening stakeholder discussions on generator deactivation timelines and a potential overhaul of the reserve markets during its Sept. 20 meeting.

CAISO’s issuance of energy emergency watches and alerts in July came under conditions that mirrored those during California’s September 2022 heatwave.

 

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee will convene Sept. 20, with endorsement of revised peak market activity rules and issue charges related to generator deactivation rules and reserve certainty on the agenda.

PJM brought a quick fix solution before the Planning Committee, seeking to address the frequency and magnitude of load forecast adjustments being requested by electric distribution companies.

PJM's Operating Committee delayed a vote on manual revisions aimed at reducing the circumstances under which the RTO would provide advance notice of when it will be sharing confidential member information with third parties.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee deferred voting on an issue charge to create a new senior task force focused on compensation for reliability-must-run contracts and the timing of deactivation notices.
